Expo 2030 Riyadh unveiled that Saudi Arabia is set to welcome the world during the event, extending invitations to 197 countries, according to Gulf News.
CEO of Expo 2030 Riyadh, Talal Al Marri, noted that this move represents a significant milestone toward hosting one of the world’s largest global gatherings, Expo 2030 Riyadh — a landmark event expected to draw nearly 42 million visitors.
The expo aims to bring together more than 197 nations and 29 international organizations under one global platform to discuss common challenges and spotlight innovative, future-shaping solutions to boost sustainability.
“Expo is of great importance in bringing people together and providing opportunities for genuine human interaction,” he added.
Al Marri also revealed that the Expo site will span approximately six million square meters, with major infrastructure and facilities anticipated to be completed ahead of schedule.
“Riyadh’s other mega-projects, such as Diriyah and Qiddiya, will also be ready,” he said during his speech at the 9th Future Investment Initiative (FII) conference in Riyadh.
The Kingdom will begin infrastructure works for the Expo before the end of this year to ensure smooth access for millions of visitors. Furthermore, Riyadh Metro network will facilitate visitor access by connecting key areas of the capital to the Expo location.
The CEO also said that Riyadh’s unique location placing almost half of the world’s population within a five-hour flight — reinforces its position as an ideal selection to host the event.
He affirmed that Expo 2030 Riyadh will stand as a strategic global hub for innovation, sustainability, and education, while fostering global dialogue and human development.
